Mission (Part3)

It was a good thing, mal had sort of injured one person, this made that person throw his knives a bit slower than usual from that hand. And who was Liam? Was he actually not better than Mal at multiple knife throwing? Instead of him being easily suppressed he manage to injure that person further at the same time as the other person. It was like, something in him activated when he heard Mal's painful scream. However, his opponents kept trying to stop him, he turned his heart cold and threw so many knives at them that they died painful deaths.

Even the person who had previously appeared as a "shadow," and who was almost at at Mal's hiding place couldn't fully evade his knives. While he wasn't impaled, he was grazed by knives all over his body. He shivered and took his lasts jumps towards mal. Liam started sprinting towards them, he had a slight view of them in between the trees crack.

He saw the shadow whispering to mal while holding a dagger ready to impale her.

It turned out that, she had been struck by a needle or syringe looking like object. It probably had all sorts of nasty stuff. Seriously, why did she have such bad luck.

The masked person who she had previously seen as a shadow, bent down and whispered to her. He said some things she could verily hear at first but she could clearly hear, "How do you like my medicine? You are done, say goodbye vegetable." As he saw the frozen Mal who seemed to have been finally paralyzed and dying of blood loss, he held a knife about to impale her heart.

It was then that he saw Mal open her eyes. The person was so shocked that he had hesitated for a millisecond. This was enough for Mal to divert the dagger from her heart to her side. She had turned into a boy when she had screamed. This allowed her body to not be under the effects of the injection or at least cure that. Mal saw the person's black and shocked eyes. Mal herself had also impaled that person with something.

On the other side. When Liam arrived, all he saw was the person on top of Mal getting up and running away. Liam threw knives but realized he didn't have many left. Not only that but the person manage to deflect most of them. He also had to stop himself from continuing the attack because he noticed more enemies coming from the distance who had started to shoot arrows like waves towards them.Not only that, but he noticed mal had a syringe in her hand and looked fine. He helped her up quickly and both started to run away. Mal kept up with him and was actually the one pulling him along instead of the other way around.

They had been running for five seconds when they saw their team coming towards them. They yelled to turn around and they all started running towards the road. They looked backed and noticed they had stopped being chased. They all sighed in relief but still kept running towards the caravan. Luckily they had borrowed three horses. Jolin grabbed one with Liam sitting behind him guarding their back with his knives. Mark was alone in his horse next to graces. Grace threw Mal with her when she saw her pants covered in blood. Mal couldn't protest. They kept the fast pace until they caught up with Navenia who was leading the Caravan to their destination.

Mal assured them she was fine but they still made "him" check with Navenia who took Mal into the last wagon where there was only the driver in the front. To her surprise there were no "wounds," and couldn't explain her state. Then she understood something as she looked at Mal ring.

Navenia: " Okay, hold on to changing back until we are sure we are safe."

They pressured the merchants to pick up the pace and race towards the city, at least for the next fifteen to thirty minutes. They soon arrived at their destination. They met up with an instructor who was waiting for them at an Inn. By then, Mal had changed into clean pants from one of the merchants so as to not let the instructor ask about her miraculous recovery. They explained they had been attacked by other people who weren't the bandits. They had already brought those tied up bandits to the villages "jail." The Instructor left to contact the other one. He told them another team was currently next door and could help them in case anyone showed up but he highly doubted it. This was definitely strange.

Back in one of the rooms, Mal changed back and Navenia helped heal her all afternoon. The guys just waited around and didn't question her fast recovery. They attributed it to her ring's potential fast recovery or delayed effects ability or something of the sort. They knew Mal would eventually explain better in detail.
